the project

Times are uncertain right now. Humboldt was wondering, what needs have arisen through COVID-19 and how is it affecting our community? We called our front-line essential workers and asked; police, pharmancy, childcare centers, city administrator, school, churches, etc and what we found from the cross-sectors was a common theme. The ability to get food to our residents in this time of need. 

Humboldt Food Pantry has been a main staple in our community for about four decades. Over the years, the Ministerial Alliance has been creative and been able to expand the program because of its relationship with Feed America and WalMart. 

Unfortunately, because of COVID-19, the situation has changed. Wal Mart and Feed America has discontinued their support to Humboldt which has left an overwhelming gap in Humboldt's abilty to provide much needed food access. Partner this double the number of residents in need, demonstrating that some that might have never used food assistance now are. The number has doubled and as time goes on, we believe that will grow.

why we're doing it

Humboldt has had a need for a food pantry for decades. Because of COVID-19, this need has intensified. 

Our major donor- Wal Mart and Feed America has halted its program to bring food to our pantry because of the virus, leaving about $2000 gap each month in the amount of food distribution we are capable of doing.

Our number of households in need has doubled in just a few weeks. We see that need growing. 

We need to stay in front of this and be prepared to fill in with our residents that utilize this program and for the growing number of individuals that have never used it but need it now, even if only temporarily.
